Placemark is going open source and shutting down
It's an easy to use web GIS. Looks quite cool actually.

That looks really cool, it is a shame it couldn't get where it needed to be for a long term business.

I'm happy to create more value than I capture.
What an amazing way to say that.

I'd just copied that exact thing to comment on. We need more people like @tmcw@mastodon.social in our world.

The author has worked on observablehq.com and currently works on val.town which are both really cool

Sounds like something related to openstreetmap, maybe contact them and see if they can do something with it?

OSM already has Qmap which is similar, and QGIS also had a web gis these days.
Maybe placemark will be easier to run, and it looks like it is a bit more user friendly then the other options, but the niche is already a bit crowded.

Kudos to the developer. It really is the right thing to do when services shut down.
